On Saturday
24th Junea
'working crew' finally located and secured the two Rotary seats
just outside the
MemorialGardens. It proved a
difficult job as the seats were very heavy, emphasis on the
heavy, as did the drilling through concrete. However with a
truck and equipment supplied by George Millward and of course his leadership qualities, the crew took
approximately 2.5 hours to complete the task. It would have been
a lot longer if it were not for sub contractor Frank Dakin
who rescued the operation with his expertise in
drilling. Coffees
and teas were sponsored by George during this
arduous task.
Photo was taken by a member of the
public. The lady did not want her name to be made public!
THE 2011 WELL-DRESSING
was once again drawn by
our very good friend Andrew
Hamilton of Bonsall who
was responsible for this innovative picture from which we were
able to produce the dressing for display.
